25-06 or 280AI
My suggestion would be both lol, but that’s because those are basically what I want in my safe. I love my 25-06 and wouldn’t give it up for anything. I also have a Ruger M77 280 rem, but I’ve been seriously looking at building a custom Tikka in 280 AI! I just need to decide to spend the money...- Karl

Which nosler bullet do you prefer?
Partitions have been doing a great job for me the last few years! 280 Rem likes the 160gr. 25-06 loves the 100gr.- Karl

Extreme price gouging
Yeah I generally keep ammo on hand for maybe two years which is clearly not going to be enough unless I stretch it. I think your 5 year suggestion is the right one and what I’ll be doing from here on. Trying to track down large rifle primers for my 25/06 and 280.- Karl

Extreme price gouging
It’s crazy out there! I picked the complete wrong time to get into reloading. I’ve managed to get everything I need, but I can’t find primers except at ridiculous prices! $100-200 for a 1,000 primers is the best I’m seeing.- Karl

New Pants/Bibs
Here in Virginia I run stratus bibs until temps get below 30, then switch to the fanatic bibs which are solid for me into the teens. If burrs are an issue, I have a buddy who runs the incinerator bibs which have a smooth exterior. They are ridiculously warm but might fit your needs/wants. You’ll...- Karl

I just started my drive from Va to Wy and I definitely forgot my spork. Hopefully that’s all I forgot! Good thing there is a Cabelas on the way! -

Scouting/prehunt planning question
Question for the masses. I drew a Wyoming General Tag this year and recently got back from scouting out the areas I plan to hunt, and a couple backup spots. I found a couple single bulls, one spot with a bunch of cows although very spread out, and a couple areas with lots of rut sign from last... -
VA. Elk and RMEF and others
Thats awesome! Thanks for sharing the photos and reminding me I need to get out there and go check it out as well! I live in northern VA, so it's not close, but it's also not the 27 hour drive I'm doing to hunt elk this year either! -
First time elk hunting
I would also highly recommend checking out Elk101's University of Elk Hunting. This is my first year hunting elk in the backcountry and I just got back from a scouting trip on public ground where I found elk and lots of elk sign. Much of this I learned from Elk101. I'll also second Randy's... -
Addicted and haven't even tasted it yet. Help
As mentioned several times already Randy Newberg's videos, Elk101.com, the Elk university has a ton of information. Read back through these forums it's amazing how much information is in here! Elk Talk podcast, Backcountry Rookies podcast and Hunt Backcountry podcasts are all phenomenal. This... -
Honest opinion on taking the month off work for elk season? Please help!!
Definitely go hunt dude! The fact that your thinking it through is awesome and means you're a mile ahead of a lot of your peers! It's great to set yourself up for the future, but maintain that work/life balance for your mental health. Plus you have tons of time ahead in your life to look back on... -

Pack Opinions for Shed Hunting/Day Pack Hunts
I have a MR Cabinet and really like it for day hunts. Plenty of room to carry the essentials and it carries a load well if you need to haul something out.- Karl
